Wow, what a week. Let’s start with two weeks ago. Neutron has been looking for a while to hire a good Python/Django developer. Dal, the Proton project manager has started looking at Github profiles and asking us developers what we thought of their open source work. One name that got sent out was Greg Doermann. I recruited Greg to work on Snirk with me. I eventually left Snirk because I didn’t like the business plan (mainly of just...

When we were driving back from our vacation in San Diego, after stopping in St. George for a small break to let the kids out to stretch their legs and play. I asked my wife, “So when are we going to move here?” Her response was incredulous. “Are you serious?!

Pain Summary:Lower Back: 5Upper Back: 2 I still haven’t done anything about taxes. I don’t know that I will even get to them this week. I spent the evening putting up curtain and hanging everything else in the office. I think aside from cleaning the office is done. Now I need to finish the living room and hallway.
